   Remember how pop-ups were such an issue in the past that virtually all modern browsers now block them by default? I long for, dream of, fantasize about, a world where pop-up modals are either banned or easily blocked at a blanket-level. For

   While I agree that drugs like this shouldn't necessarily be handed out like candy (ignoring the lumping-together of amphetamines and opiates in the headline), it has been a real struggle to get legitimate stimulant prescriptions filled

   I'm (non-confrontationally) curious if you fact checked this before posting, or if it was a quick copy and paste. Truly: just curious.

   How does that square with the algorithms used to render the 3D models humans construct and rig? I think the "rendering" analogy is quite apt once you're past the point of initial generation and off to painting, editing, and

   There's a highly nontrivial amount of creative work that goes into getting high quality stuff out of the diffusion models. One-step txt2img is a parlor trick. Those of us who are seriously using these tools are often making many round

   Wait, are you saying you are able to let the iPad connect to a hotspot shared by the Apple Watch alone? That would be really cool, but I can't find anything online supporting the claim. I've got all the hardware, too...

   Realize you're probably pretty stupid about a few things, too. Or if you still think that way after investigating why, it's likely you're in the wrong rooms. Just as there's "always a bigger fish," there's

    Typically during the (many) times in my life when this was a problem for me, I was avoiding something (or a lot of somethings). Try accepting the mundane. After all: "no mud, no lotus"

    This is what I'm doing as an instructor at some local colleges. A lot of the students are completely unaware of these tools, and I really want to make sure they have some sense of how things are changing (inasmuch as any of us can tell

    My friend! This is a fantastic use for the great exiftool. Here's a link [0] to their (also good) forums where it's implemented by the author in this one-liner: exiftool -o . '-Directory<FileModifyDate' '-Dir

    I don't think we have to accept the idea that "visual media ends after everyone can be an artist." On the contrary: such a scenario may well make visual media even more relevant than it is today. Already we communicate concep

    Interesting. Definitely a challenge if accurate emulation of film stock is desired. I almost always add a subtle amount of "grain" with LR when developing photos. It looks pleasant and seems to add a sense of coherency to an image

    Why such cynicism in the comments? This is a pretty cool achievement, even if it's incremental or lacks present application (I'm not qualified to say either way). I'm cheering them on!
